I suggest you take a look at our incarceration rate per capita and then think about whether or not the answer is "the solution is to put more people in prison".

Yeah, it was actually in the upper 20s here yesterday morning when I was out hiking. I had on leggings and jeans, then a thin shirt and a thick sweater and a thick hoodie. That is what I plan to wear mostly. Plus, I am naturally insulated through a rigorous schedule of eating too much junk food so there's that too.

I have gloves and a scarf and my hoodie has a, well, a hood, but no boots. Alas.

Even on Saturday afternoon you could tell that BPD was gearing up for something big. They had metal barricades on almost every corner waiting to be deployed, and I saw a couple vans full of cops sitting around on side streets, plus cruisers everywhere. Makes you wonder how much overtime they charged sitting around waiting for something to happen…
